VASCO: Vasco police will soon book a case against the parking contractor appointed by the Airport Authority of India (AAI) for failing to comply with the verification of character and antecedents process of the security guards and supervisor employed by him at Dabolim airport.
According to Vasco PI Sagar Ekoskar, four security guards were detained on Saturday after police found that they had not gone through the verification process, but were still working at the airport. All four guards, employed by contractor Century Services, Mumbai, were collecting airport parking fees and excess time fees at the exit point of Dabolim airport.
He stated, “We checked our records and found that their verification of character and antecedents process was not done, but they were still working as security guards since the last three months. Also, it is the prime responsibility of the employer to comply with the police verification process before they put private security guards on duty. As there is violation, we have decided to take statements of the people detained, after which we will book a case under Section 188 of IPC.”
